The Lorika Agent is a lightweight Go binary that runs on your devices and performs security audits.

Key facts

• Size — ~15 MB single binary, no dependencies
• Platforms — Windows, macOS, Linux (amd64 + arm64)
• Resources — <50 MB RAM, <1% CPU during scans
• Privacy — no telemetry unless you opt in

How it works

1. Runs initial scan on install
2. Performs periodic scans based on your plan:
   • Enterprise: every 1 hour
   • Business: every 6 hours
   • Free: every 24 hours
3. Sends delta-only updates (skips if nothing changed)
4. Receives commands via long-polling (update/uninstall)

Security

• All communication over HTTPS
• Request signing with HMAC-SHA256
• Device tokens stored as SHA-256 hash server-side
• Binary signed and verified on update
